Is it time to replace a roof for a customer? Or perhaps your own? We have a wide selection of products for roofs and facades. Here on this page, you can explore rainwater systems, sheets and coils, building profiles, and much more. Read more about the selection and buy it before your neighbor does.
Find the right gutter
Do you want an elegant and practical rainwater system? Then you should consider a durable rainwater system from Ahlsell. We have a wide range of quality gutters and downpipes from well-known manufacturers.
When you need to find a gutter in the right size, it must be capable of effectively directing rainwater away from the roof. This way, no flooding occurs on the roof, and potential damage to the given roof is avoided.
The correct size for your project depends on the perimeter of the house. The gutter works best when it goes around the entire house. This way, there is less risk of flooding on the roof, and the water is directed away in the best possible manner.
Of course, you want the house to be visually appealing, but also as practical as possible. Fortunately, we have products in various materials, so you can find the type that suits the house. In our range, you can, for example, choose gutters made of copper, zinc, steel, and plastic. This way, you can choose the type that best fits the roof structure and the house facade.
If you want a more modern and sleek look, our popular stainless steel gutters might be just the thing. They are easy to maintain and are also environmentally friendly, as they do not carry heavy metals with the water into the ground.
Avoid moisture and condensation with a vapor barrier
When it comes to roofing, it is worth considering using a vapor barrier. It helps reduce the risk of moisture and condensation damage under your roof. Ultimately, this can create rot and increase the risk of mold, especially for structures made of organic materials like wood.
In modern houses, vapor barriers are often installed everywhere in the roof, but that is not the case with older houses. At that time, there were not the same legal requirements for insulation as there are today. Therefore, if you are dealing with an older house, you can easily find vapor barriers in several variations at Ahlsell. Just because it's an older house, it still needs the best possible insulation and should look nice.
If a vapor barrier is not enough, you can also explore our fine selection of underlays and accessories. An underlay makes your roof more watertight and also protects against moisture. The difference between an underlay and a vapor barrier is that a vapor barrier protects against moisture from the inside, while an underlay protects against moisture from the outside.
They serve the same purpose and are especially useful in Denmark, where the weather is known to be unpredictable, with rain, snow, and bright sunshine at any time of year.
A new roof means new life
It is wonderful to have a roof over your head, and it is an added bonus if it looks good.

What to be aware of when roofing
When choosing roofing materials, you should be aware that it must be an approved roof type. There are various legal requirements in building regulations, local plans, and servitudes. Therefore, it may be a good idea to check which type of roof you are allowed to use to avoid irritating surprises. These legal requirements are there to ensure you and the building the best possible safety.
For example, there is a requirement for fire safety. A roofing material must either meet the Danish fire requirement "Class T roofing" or the European version "BROOF (T2)." This could include tiles, concrete, metal plates, and asbestos-free sheets.
Local plans and servitudes often have specific rules about which roof types you are allowed to use. If you have a listed building, you are rarely allowed to change the existing design or roof type. Therefore, before deciding on a specific type of roof, you should research which type of roof you are permitted to use.
Take good care of the new roofing
Roofing can be an expensive affair, so it is a good idea to take care of it. It should last as many years as possible while still looking good.
Have you had a visit from algae on your roof? Then fear not. Algae have no harmful effect on the roof, and you can easily remove them. You can use your hands or a soft brush and water. If water and a brush are not quite enough, you also have the option of using approved and environmentally friendly agents. It is important to use an approved treatment, as this can have significant consequences for wildlife and groundwater.
Birds also tend to drag branches, leaves, grass, and other debris with them, which can end up in your gutter. This results in rainwater overflowing, potentially causing a minor flood on the ground. Therefore, you should regularly check your drainage pipes for leaves, branches, and more.

To achieve the best possible result, you naturally also need the best accessories. If it is time to replace the leaky gutter, for example, we have an inviting selection of gutter brackets and hinge clamps.

Frequently asked questions
Can slate tiles withstand algae treatment?
Natural slate has a smoother surface than other roofing types and is therefore considered self-cleaning. Slate tiles can withstand algae treatments like many other roofing materials, but you should only use it if you cannot remove the algae from the roof yourself. Additionally, you should use an approved and environmentally friendly material to protect the slate tile as much as possible.
Can I install the products myself?
There are no legal requirements preventing you from changing your rainwater system, roof, or other items yourself. However, it may be advantageous to let a professional do it if you want the best possible result. If you are someone handy, you can certainly give it a try.

We have building profiles in various materials. Which one you should choose is ultimately up to you. We have, among other things, black and glossy models, so you can easily find your favorite. You also have the option of choosing them in different sizes.
